SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 659,103, dated October 2, 1 900.

Application filed July 12, 1900. Serial No. 23,390. (No model.)

I'o all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RALPH ROCKWELL, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Oracle, in the county of Pinal and Territory of Arizona, have invented a new and Improved Saw, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description. f

This invention relates to improvements in buck-saws; and the object is to provide a saw the frame of which is so formed that the shaking or jarring usual with the ordinary saw or saw-frame is obviated, thus making the saw run more easily.

I will describe a saw embodying my invention and then point out the novel features in the appended claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this speciiication, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure l is a side View of a saw embodying my invention, and Fig. 2 is a section on the line :c a: of Fig. l.

The saw-frame comprises a strip of material bent to form a top horizontal section l and a front section 2. This top and front.

section may be made of wood, in which case it may be steamed and bent, or it may be of steel or similar metal. In either event it will be provided on its top or outer portion with a channel 3, at the sides of which are the ribs 4, which not only provides a light frame, but materially strengthens the same. This channel is also designed in its forward portion to receive a brace or tie rod 5, made in two sections connected hy a turnbuckle 6. rllhe for ward end of this brace or tie rod is extended through an opening in the forward portion 2 and is provided with a nut and washer, and

that is, the top and front portion connected to the handle portion.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- In a saw, a frame comprising a top and front portion made of a single length of material having a channel along its top or outer portion, a back or handle portion extended above the top of the frame, and a tie-rod at tached to said upward extended portion and carried through the slot of the front and then through an openingv in the front near its lower'end, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

RALPH ROCKWELL. Witnesses: S. F. BAUMAN,

ROCHESTER FORD.
